After the 2024 season, Kyle Larson has been itching to get a win. While he couldn’t get it done in the Regular Series or the Cup Series, he wanted to get 2025 started on the right foot. And that’s exactly why he returned to his old stomping ground, the Chili Bowl Nationals! And he has done it again. Yung Money has once again etched his name in the history books with his 3rd Chili Bowl championship. Larson, with this win, has now caught up to the titan of Chili Bowl – Christopher Bell, which has further solidified his legacy as one of the greatest to ever come out of the world of motorsports.

To see one of their favorite drivers win once more has turned fans elated, as they took to social media to share their feelings.

Larson’s continuous purple patch since the win at Perth had put him in a good contender’s position. But becoming the winner of this year’s Chili Bowl would not be a cakewalk. Starting on the pole everyone had thought this would be an easy win but it was anything but a dud. One thing that helped him put on a good show was some luck before the race started. With Larson performing poorly during the Race of Champions, he knew his only shot at a win could come with a solid pole draw.

That’s exactly what happened. Because he drew the No. 1 pill, he could manage a front-row start, beating out Landon Brooks for the pole position. However, that was just half the battle. During the 40-lap race, Larson was involved in multiple incidents, first coming on lap 17. Despite Larson cruising in the front in the opening laps of the race, Jacob Denney and Brenham Crouch made contact in front of him, with Larson, having no choice but to drive over 2 wheels. His car nearly stalled, but miraculously fired back to life.

Later in the race, with just four laps remaining, Larson’s car climbed up the wall, with the rear of the car on the wall while the nose pointing infield. Somehow, Larson managed to get the car back on track, pointing in the right direction and cruising to the win.

Speaking about the win, he said, “Tonight, the track was challenging to make a lap by yourself, so when you can win a 40-lap race on a track that challenging, it’s pretty cool.” After the hard-fought victory, he quickly took to X, posting, “3x golden drillers!”

As for the fans, they were quite vocal as ever about this magic that they had just witnessed.

Fans give their seal of approval to Kyle Larson’s historic win

The Chili Bowl’s electrifying finish had left fans in a moment of disbelief. The emotions showcased on X ranged from pure admiration for Larson ti some playful sarcastic digs. One thing from all this is quite evident, Larson’s skills and sheer range in the sport have gained him a fan base that won’t stop talking about him. As was seen under the tweet by him which read: “3x golden drillers!!”

It’s no surprise that Larson’s consistent domination across various motorsports has turned him into a merch magnet. From sprint cars to NASCAR, his fans wear their support on their sleeves – literally. This Chili Bowl win only adds more to his appeal, leaving many looking for the next Larson-themed merch. And honestly, who can blame them? Supporting a driver who wins as often as Larson feels like an investment in greatness. As was evident in one fan’s comment : “My t-shirt budget is gonna overdraw soon if Young Money keeps winning like this.”

Larson fans do not believe in hyperbole at all. Watching him conquer everything from dirt tracks to asphalts is just another experience. For many, this win reaffirmed what they’ve long believed: Larson isn’t just great; he’s truly transcendent. His ability to adapt to any type of racing car and still dominate reminds fans of legends like Mario Andretti. The Chili Bowl is just another addition on his growing list of achievements, fueling debates about his place among the greatest drivers in motorsports history. The start of this debate was evident in many comment, one of them read : “Can’t believe I’m witnessing the greatest driver on 4 wheels dominate every motorsport there is! 🐐🔥”.

For NASCAR fans, Kyle Larson’s Chili Bowl win is the perfect kick-starter leading up to the Daytona 500. His fans are eager to see if he can win his first-ever Daytona 500. Winning at the Chili Bowl is a badge of honor, but taking home a Daytona 500 victory? That’s the crown jewel every stock car driver dreams of. With this momentum, Larson heads into the NASCAR season as a force to be reckoned with. The hope still lives on in the hearts of fans as one had rightfully pointed out : “Great job, Kyle. Now go get Daytona!”

As for his fans, they definitely have a sense of good sarcasm. Kyle Larson’s dominance has reached a point where some can’t help but joke about what he’ll conquer next. Lawn mower racing, anyone? Sure why not? It just speaks to the width of Larson’s versatility. If there’s anything with wheels, his fans genuinely believe Larson could find a way to win with it. And that said sense of humor for his next challenge is very much evident when one fan said : “Could u try lawnmower racing next?”
